AFAICS, videosite-parser.c is what uses quvi, and since it isn't built anymore
with this patch, there's really no quvi support here. You would have to keep
building videosite-parser.c into the totem-pl-parser-videosite binary, but
patching it to use the old quvi API (no idea how hard that would be).

Cheers,
